Sources close to the royal family suggest that Pippa Middleton may be pivotal in mending the rift between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Princess Kate. Before stepping down as working royals, Harry and Meghan had a cordial relationship with Pippa, the younger sister of Princess Kate.

In 2011, Pippa and Harry were key figures at the wedding of Kate and William, with Harry serving as best man and Pippa as maid of honor. Their relationship continued to flourish when Pippa invited Meghan to her 2017 wedding reception while Meghan was still Prince Harry’s girlfriend. Meghan reciprocated by inviting Pippa to her wedding at St George’s Chapel a year later, even as Pippa was expecting her first child.

The two women maintained a friendly relationship and were seen together at Wimbledon in 2019, showcasing their camaraderie.According to a royal insider, despite the cooling of relations between Meghan and Pippa due to the broader tensions between the Sussexes and the Waleses, there was never any personal conflict between the two women. Meghan, now looking to mend fences with Kate, reportedly sees Pippa as a potential bridge.

The source commented, “Pippa’s always been very reasonable and level-headed towards Meghan, so it’s not totally out of left field.” The idea is that Pippa’s reasonable nature and her positive history with both Meghan and Harry could make her an ideal candidate to facilitate a reconciliation.

Prince Harry is also reportedly keen on rebuilding his relationship with Pippa and her husband, James Matthews. The insider mentioned that Harry would like to reconnect with the couple, potentially meeting on neutral ground in Europe or the US. “Scoring any type of friendship with Pippa would be a huge win,” the source said, even if it appears to be a challenging endeavor given the current royal dynamics.

The relationship between Harry, Meghan, Kate, and William has been strained since the Sussexes stepped back from their royal duties. The insider’s comments suggest that Pippa, who has maintained her own positive rapport with Meghan, could help bridge this divide.

As both the Sussexes and the Waleses navigate their personal and public challenges, Pippa Middleton’s role in this potential reconciliation highlights her enduring influence and connection within the royal circle.
